When I'm at home there is nearly always a cup of tea at my elbow, whether I'm at my desk in front of the computer, at the dining table with a proofreading project, or on the couch in front of the television. Most of the time, it's loose leaf green tea that I'm sipping; there's just nothing like a fragrant hot cup of the stuff to get me through my day.
A few months ago TL sent me a surprise in the mail: the Floz Design 'Utilo' Teastick for Blomus, a sleek and attractive little gadget. Press down on the top to reveal a little pocket for loose tea, fill it up, and pop the slim metal stick into a cup of hot water. Swirl it around to let water pass through the perforations and voila, your tea is ready.
While the tea takes a little longer to steep and there is some limitation to how much the leaves can freely expand, I do like the neatness of the teastick. It keeps floating leaves from sticking to my lips and makes for easy cleanup, too. Thanks TL!

that is the bomb!
ReplyDeleteI just realized I should have made the title "A stick to steep and stir." Ah well.
ReplyDeleteI have to get myself one of those! Do you have any recommendations for loose leaf green tea? I'm always looking but haven't found the exact type I think would be a regular
ReplyDeleteYvo, I'm partial to sencha green tea or genmaicha, the kind with roasted brown rice kernels in it. I don't know too much about other types, though.
